Death Grip
“Reprint Indeed impressive, to kill the beast of Sun Soul Threefold Peak with a single strike. However, the consumption of Vital Energy is quite significant; that one blow cost me sixty percent of my Vital Energy,” Xing Chen said to himself, slightly panting from the immense drain on his internal Vital Energy.
He then took out the Demon Core of the Bloodthirsty Spider, stripped off its hard shell, and found a hidden spot to begin recovering. Generally, there shouldn't be any dangers within the Elemental Stone Vein, but in such a cursed place, nothing is absolute. To be safe, he needed to keep himself in peak condition at all times to better respond to any sudden crises.
Since Xing Chen had numerous Demon Cores in hand, he could directly draw Vital Energy from them and infuse it into himself. As a result, he quickly restored himself to peak condition.
After finishing his recovery, Xing Chen looked at the entrance of the Elemental Stone Vein, hesitated for a moment, and then entered. Inside was pitch black; it was so dark that one could hardly see their own hand in front of their face. An eerie and terrifying atmosphere enveloped him, causing Xing Chen's brow to furrow tightly.
As he walked further in, the surroundings grew increasingly sinister and terrifying, even exuding a chilling Demonic Aura. This sensation made Xing Chen feel very uncomfortable.
“No wonder there aren't many powerful beasts around; it must be due to this aura. Could there be some terrifying demon lurking here?” Xing Chen thought, frowning as he continued forward. The deeper he went, the stronger the eerie feeling became, yet when he released his Soul Power, he sensed nothing.
“Thunderfire Pearl!”
Xing Chen slightly opened his mouth, and the Thunderfire Pearl immediately floated out. With its appearance, the dark mine was suddenly illuminated with a purplish-red glow, dispersing much of the chilling atmosphere.
“Ha ha, I didn't expect such a supreme treasure to exist here; you are not simple!” At that moment, a strange laughter echoed, followed by a shadow appearing before Xing Chen.
“Who are you?” Seeing the shadow before him, Xing Chen felt a slight shock. He couldn't see through this shadow's cultivation level. Since it could survive in the Yin Wind Mountain Range, it was certainly not an ordinary character. Most importantly, the chilling Demonic Aura emanating from it made Xing Chen shiver involuntarily.
“Ha ha, with your status as a Rascal, you aren't worthy to know my name. However, I see your body is quite suitable for cultivating demonic arts. Why not follow me here for training? In just a few decades, I guarantee your cultivation will reach unimaginable heights,” the shadow laughed again as it spoke.
Xing Chen's gaze flickered slightly; then he gritted his teeth and used the Earth Escape Technique, attempting to flee. However, just as the Yellow Light flashed on him, the Shadow Demon waved its hand, and countless strands of black mist converged into chains that bound Xing Chen tightly.
“This is bad!” Xing Chen thought urgently. He quickly moved his feet slightly and blurred into an afterimage while his real body appeared several dozen meters away.
"The Demonic Aura here is actually able to suppress my cultivation." Xing Chen's pupils slightly contracted. When he was in the Soul Realm, he could use ‘Shadow Shift’ to blink over a hundred meters, but now that he was in the Yang Spirit Realm, not only had his movement distance not increased, it had actually decreased.
However, this was not the time to think about such things; the main objective now was to escape. The shadow behind him was simply too terrifying and definitely something he could not handle.
“Nine Thunder Fire!”
Xing Chen secretly urged the Thunderfire Pearl that was still floating in the air. Suddenly, a dazzling light emanated from the Thunderfire Pearl, and then endless Thunderfire Divine Flame burst forth from it, instantly spreading outwards.
“Thunderfire Divine Flame, ranked two hundred and fifteenth in the Divine Flame Ranking?” The shadow looked slightly surprised at the sight of the Thunderfire Divine Flame now filling the mine. The astonishment in its voice was impossible to conceal.
“Shadowy Presence!” Faced with the overwhelming Thunderfire Divine Flame, the shadow raised its palm slightly, and immediately, countless shadowy handprints appeared in the air, colliding with the surging Thunderfire Divine Flame.
Boom!
A tremendous roar echoed, causing the entire mine to shake. Xing Chen originally intended to take advantage of this moment to use the Earth Escape Technique to leave, but he found that the Earth Escape Technique could not allow him to escape from this place.
“Spatial Restraint!”
Just as Xing Chen was about to use Shadow Shift to flee, the shadow had already broken through the barrier of the Thunderfire Divine Flame. It extended its palm towards Xing Chen and gave a slight grip. Instantly, the entire space was confined by it, leaving Xing Chen unable to move at all.
"To think there is a strong individual with Gaze of Fate. Isn't there no such strong presence on Nebula Island?" Xing Chen silently lamented, but faced with the Spatial Restraint, he had no way out.
During his time at Sword Mound, although Zhao Yiming and others could also restrain him, what they relied on was Soul Power. They merely used their vast Soul Power to seal off that area of space, allowing Xing Chen to still resist.
However, this shadow directly confined the space itself; this was definitely a technique possessed only by a Soul-Searching Realm Expert. Without being a Soul-Searching Realm Expert, it would be impossible to achieve such a feat.
“Rascal, your strength is quite impressive. Just at Yang Po First Level, you allowed me to use Spatial Restraint to keep you here. I fear that once you reach Yang Po Er Chong, it will be difficult for me to hold onto you,” the Shadow Demon said with a sinister smile.
At the same time, the black mist that concealed his form vanished, and Xing Chen finally saw his face clearly; this person was actually transparent.
His body was extremely ethereal, as if a gust of wind could scatter him away. However, through their earlier confrontation, Xing Chen understood that although this being was merely a soul now, the power he possessed was terrifying. How powerful must he have been in life?
“Who... who exactly are you?” Xing Chen stared intently at him. He wanted to use the ‘Soul Devouring’ from the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique to devour this powerful demonic soul before him, but at this moment, he was completely restrained, making it difficult even to speak, let alone perform any soul techniques.
“Ha ha, since you are about to die, I shall let you die with clarity!” the Shadow Demon laughed ominously. “I am one of the Sea Domain's Ten Great Emperors, known as the Hate Emperor.”
Upon hearing this from the Shadow Demon, Xing Chen's expression darkened instantly. The Emperor of Thunder Punishment was an incredibly powerful existence. How could he have such bad luck to encounter him?
Regardless of cultivation level, as long as one possessed the strength of the first realm of Gaze into the Five Realms, known as Gaze of Life, one could be called a lord; however, at this moment, he could only be referred to as a True Lord, like the Seven Killing True Monarch or the Thunder True Monarch.
Once combat power reached the Spirit Void Realm, one could become a Divine Lord, such as the Thunderfire Deity or the Crimson Flame Deity. Although they were at the peak of the Fate Observation Realm, their true combat power was comparable to those in a higher tier of the Spirit Void Realm.
To be called the Emperor of Thunder Punishment, one had to be at least at the peak of the Spirit Void Realm, an existence that transcended the void. Such beings were only slightly weaker than those in the legendary Yin Yang Catastrophe Realm. Even in today’s Central Domain, they would undoubtedly be a dominant figure, someone whose every step would shake the entire region.
“So how about it, Rascal? Do you have any more questions? Today I am feeling generous and will satisfy your curiosity. If you have anything you want to ask, now is your chance; otherwise, soon you won’t have another opportunity,” the Hate Emperor chuckled repeatedly, genuinely pleased within.
He had lost track of how much time had passed in this place. Due to his physical body being shattered and only his soul remaining, he had not dared to make any moves during these endless years for fear of attracting some unparalleled powerhouse who might take his life while he was weak.
During these endless years, due to a lack of materials to nourish his soul, the power of the Hate Emperor had fallen from its original level in the Spirit Void Realm down to Gaze of Fate, and he was on the verge of dropping into the Yang Spirit Realm.
Just when he felt despair, Xing Chen suddenly appeared. To his surprise, he discovered that Xing Chen’s body was very suitable for cultivating his ‘Hate Emperor's Art’, which sparked his desire to occupy this body.
If the Hate Emperor could possess such a physique, then he could return to the peak of the Spirit Void Realm and transcend the void in less than a hundred years, regaining the strength of the former Emperor of Thunder Punishment. At that time, wouldn't he be free to roam the vast lands?
Although he couldn't discern exactly what kind of physique Xing Chen had, it was clear that Xing Chen's body was a combination of endless Negative Power, a fusion of insatiable greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, and other Negative Powers.
With such a physique, cultivating his Hate Emperor's Art would yield extraordinary results. This temptation was irresistible for the Hate Emperor, which is why he revealed himself and attacked Xing Chen.
"Why are you attacking me?" Xing Chen asked with difficulty.
"Hehe, that's a good question. However, I can't be blamed for this; it's because your physique is too tempting. Although I don't know exactly what kind of physique it is, it is undoubtedly the most suitable for cultivating my Hate Emperor's Art," the Hate Emperor said, his gaze towards Xing Chen filled with greed. It was evident how extraordinary Xing Chen's physique must be to elicit such a reaction from an ancient being who had lived for countless years.
"My physique?" Xing Chen felt slightly puzzled. But upon reflection, his physique was indeed not ordinary. Although it seemed like a useless physique at first glance—unable to cultivate—once he harbored hatred in his heart, his cultivation speed would be astonishingly fast, surpassing any talent. If this were an ordinary physique, no one would believe it.
However, the secret of his physique had never been discovered by anyone before. He didn't expect that the Hate Emperor could see through it at a glance; truly worthy of being called the Emperor of Thunder Punishment.
